Our program has solved some pretty significant search problems using the Lucene search engine. We're getting ready to take the first step towards an SOA in our back-where we crank out the data that eventually becomes searchable via our website. We're looking for a transactional persistence solution to support our back end entity services. What is the feeling regarding the use of Solr as a transactional data store? Many people here are very fond of Lucene and would like to see Solr employed in that fashion. Is it worth a look over some of the open source native XML databases (eXist, Xindice, Berkeley DB XML)?
Has anyone seen this work? Thanks.
